It reminds me though of a similar story long ago in London when N shared a flat with a mate. He and I went away in the summer for two weeks, and the flat mate was away too, so N turned the electricity off (it's the accountant in him!). Doh. We came back, opened the door of the flat and nearly fell backwards by the smell that greeted us. We traced it to the kitchen...and yes, of course, the freezer which had liquified (in every sense) in our absence. Of course, being a boys' flat, there were sausages in there - the whole thing was absolutely heaving with maggots - literally everything was moving! Worse still, the kitchen floor was open floorboards because they'd ripped up the carpet and never got round to putting anything else down, so all this putrifying liquid had seeped down between the floorboards! Luckily N was in the Territorial Army at the time and has a pretty strong stomach, so he set about a manly clean-up. I scarpered, I can tell you - and the flat reeked for months!

I had to laugh at this though - especially the bit about aging the paper. Been there, done that. I was never one of those beautifully coiffed and aproned mums smiling beatifically at pretty children working at a country kitchen table - it was always the 11th hour in a messy kitchen, the kids long in bed an me cursing the teacher and swearing NEVER again to fall for the "Mum, I just need....." line.Pondsidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02407539138546412482noreply@blogger.com
